We need to wait for it to finish so we can show error messages, if any.
Also, if we don't do it, sometimes the `d set eth0 managed ...`
operation fails with the following message in the daemon's log: "Unable
to determine UID of the request". This is because the client's process
is terminated before the daemon can check the permissions, as it needs
to check the uid and gid from the client's process.
Allow to manage or unmanage a device persisting across reboots.
If --permanent is not specified, only the runtime managed state is
changed, preserving the previous behavior. The --permanent-only
option allows to edit only the persistent value, without touching
the runtime value.
Also add the values up/down. Up means managed=yes and set device's
administrative state UP. Down means managed=no and admin state DOWN.
Add the value 'reset' too. It reverts managed runtime status to default
behaviour. When used with `--permanent` flag, the persisted managed
settings is cleared.

Devices like veth without a permanent MAC address cannot be matched by
MAC. If using the BY_MAC flag in SetManaged(), the changes are not
effective for such kind of devices.
Add a BY_NAME flag, in addition to the BY_MAC one. If the client sets
one of them, it means to force this mode of matching. If none is
selected, the daemon will choose how to match, preferring matching by
MAC when possible, and by ifname when not possible.
Control it with a new NM_DEVICE_MANAGED_SET_ADMIN_STATE flag.
This flag will make that, at the same time that the device is moved to
managed/unmanaged, it's admin state is set to up/down. Many users want
to have a way to have their devices in a DOWN admin state when they are
not using them. Because of the complex activation process, NM wants to
have its devices in UP state all the time. However, it is not a problem
to have it DOWN if we are not managing it.
Previous commits added the capability to persist to disk the value of
'managed' received via the D-Bus API. Users might need to clear the
previous content, thus reseting it to its default.
Although this is specially useful for the PERMANENT flag, we need to be
consistent and reset the runtime state too.
If the NM_DEVICE_MANAGED_FLAGS_PERMANENT flag is used, the value will be
stored to disk, to the NetworkManager-intern.conf file, in a [device-*]
section.
To modify the runtime value, the NM_DEVICE_MANAGED_FLAGS_RUNTIME must be
passed. This allows to control independently whether to modify only one
or both.
To support setting devices as managed or unmanaged via D-Bus API in a
permanent way, we need a way to store this configuration on disk. Before
this commit, only config files manually edited allowed it. Following
commits will make use of the new functions to store [device-*] sections
into NetworkManager-intern.conf depending on D-Bus method invocations.
The 'Managed' property only sets the managed state in runtime, but it is
not possible to persist it to disk. Add a SetManaged method that will be
able to persist it to disk. In this commit, it just modify the runtime
state, so it actually only does the same than setting the property.
Storing to disk will be added in next commits.
This adds some low-hanging food to improve our score with "systemd-analyze
security" by one point:
Before:
→ Overall exposure level for NetworkManager.service: 7.8 EXPOSED 🙁
After:
→ Overall exposure level for NetworkManager.service: 6.8 MEDIUM 😐
Nothing particularly impactful here: we still got DAC_OVERRIDE, we still
can insert loadable modules (as opposed to relying on autoload) and
read user home directories. But there's a slight chance this may save
our butts one day, who knows.

dns-search parameters set on VPN connections should be merged with
domains received through the VPN (which may be empty if the connection
sets ignore-auto-dns).
This is currently not the case because domains received by the VPN
connection are only added through nm_l3_config_data_add_domain.
If dns-search is unset, this behaves correctly because the structure
built in _mgr_configs_data_construct in src/core/dns/nm-dns-manager.c
correctly uses the domains from nm_l3_config_data_get_domains.
However if dns-search is set, nm_l3_config_data_get_searches is no
longer empty and it takes precedence because of the "n_searches > 0"
condition.
The previous check was based only on the presence of a non-NULL
"existing_secrets" GVariant. That GVariant is created via:
nm_connection_to_dbus(nm_settings_connection_get_connection(self),
NM_CONNECTION_SERIALIZE_WITH_SECRETS_SYSTEM_OWNED)
The function returns a GVariant containing a first-level dictionary
for each setting, even for those that doesn't contain any secrets. As
a result, the check was requiring the system.modify permission even if
there weren't any cached secrets to send to the agent.
Fix the check to actually check for the presence of any secrets in the
cached dictionary. Some connection types have a third-level
dictionary that can be empty, for example VPNs have vpn.secrets.
The "modify.system" polkit permission allows a user to modify settings
for connection profiles that belong to all users.
For this reason, when an agent returns system secrets (i.e. secrets
that are going to be stored to disk), NetworkManager checks that the
agent has the modify.system permission.
If a secret has the AGENT_OWNED flag, it's stored in the agent
itself. If the secret has the NOT_SAVED flag, it will be asked to
users at the beginning of every connection attempt.
In both those cases the profile is not modified and there is no need
for the modify.system permission. Fix the check to also consider the
NOT_SAVED flag.
Properties that define a .to_dbus_function() as a D-Bus override, need
to return early if the flags only ask to serialize secrets.
Fixes: 7fb23b0a62 ('libnm: add NMIPRoutingRule API')
Added support for the following properties in connection profile:
id (VNI), remote IPv4/IPv6, ttl, tos, df, destination port.
See IP-LINK(8) manual page with command `man 8 ip-link` for more details
on the properties. See also previous commit for nm supported attributes.
id and remote are mandatory attributes:
```
$ nmcli connection add type geneve save no
Error: 'id' argument is required.
$ nmcli connection add type geneve id 42 save no
Error: 'remote' argument is required.
```
GENEVE (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) is a network
tunneling protocol that provides a flexible encapsulation format for
overlay networks. It uses UDP as the transport protocol and supports
variable-length metadata in the tunnel header.
This patch adds GENEVE tunnel to NM's platform layer:
- Add platform API functions (nm_platform_link_geneve_add,
nm_platform_link_get_lnk_geneve)
- Netlink message parsing for the following attributes:
* IFLA_GENEVE_ID - VNI (Virtual Network Identifier)
IPv4 and IPv6 remote
* IFLA_GENEVE_REMOTE
* IFLA_GENEVE_REMOTE6
TTL, TOS, and DF flags
* IFLA_GENEVE_TTL
* IFLA_GENEVE_TOS
* IFLA_GENEVE_DF
UDP destination port
* IFLA_GENEVE_PORT
- Add test cases for GENEVE tunnel creation and detection with two test
modes covering IPv4 and IPv6.
The implementation tries to follow the same patterns as other tunnel
types (GRE, VXLAN, etc.) and integrates with the existing platform
abstraction layer.
`use_carrier` is removed from kernel since 6.18 [1], and returns
the following error if set to 0:
> option obsolete, use_carrier cannot be disabled
This causes a failure of test-link-linux, so let's set it to 1.
